You guys should do the first coil of bahamut. It's so easy now and in DF so it doesn't take long to get in.

But, KI!

Do you see any reason to go through all the trouble of getting the I100-130 gear with the expansion coming up in a few months?

Or should I just level crafters and other classes?

Eh, it only took me a few days to get to 50 when the game first released. Back then, everyone was grinding fates because it was several times faster. There were also a few that could be exploited to grind out 44-50 in a few hours.

If you want my opinion, the easiest way to get geared is to probably get the drops from dungeons until you can meet the ilvl requirement for Labyrinth of the Ancients/Syrcus Tower. Syrcus Tower drops ilvl100 gear and you can get as many pieces as you want now. In the mean time, save up your poetics for the job you want to focus on.

Do I think it's worth it? Yes, because most of those jobs are going to share stats/equipment with existing ones initially and then have their own gear, for drk at least. That's what they did for Ninja. But at the same time, rumor has it they're doing away with the class system.

Really though, that expansion isn't coming for another 3-4 months from now. That's a long time to go without doing anything as far as progression goes. The more you guys do now the less catching up you'll have to do.

In all honesty, just shoot for getting to 110. My group is only just now about to beat Turn-9, we haven't been playing much since Thanksgiving. Most of us are close to ilvl120 now anyway.

I was thinking of focusing on all the craft classes, leveling a healer and dps to 50. then doing the progression based on the class i like best.

Yeah, just do whatever you want really. There's plenty of time before the expansion.

Crafting isn't too bad, once you get a job to 50 for disciple of hand, land, war/magic count as one.. You get a %50 bonus to xp.

If I were you, wait to do all crafting last. Levemetes are the best way to level crafts and gatherers.

I just hate the thought of spending time gearing up, getting bad ass armor, the expansion dropping 3 days later and BAM! within 4 hours I've replaced everything. lol

Yeah, I deal with the similar problem of finally getting all my shit and then in the next week comes a patch that rolls out new equipment/currency.

For you guys though, it wouldn't be *that* bad to at least get caught up. Sure you'll be missing out on some mechanics, but at the same time the earlier shit isn't near as hard as it used to be because they started giving the Echo buff (5-20% increase to str, hp, dmg dealt and dmg healed). You can go into Turn 5 at minimum ilvl req and beat Twintania and move on without ever doing Turns 1-4.

Theoretically you can do the same with turns 6-9, but goodluck with that LOL. Turn 9 is not easy. They just had to bump the initial echo from 10% to 15% because not enough groups were clearing it to get to the final coil string of Turn 10 through 13.

Really all you have to do is just keep playing the game and get yourselves caught up to whatever extent you feel like doing. There's no dire rush to get everything cleared before expansion because it's going to be a completely new and separate area to the game.

If you guys were on Sargatanas I could literally run you through Turns 1-7 in a few days as long as you get your gear as you get your currencies (Soldiery and Poetic tomes).

Picking up what items you can and/or feel like along the way isn't going to be a waste of time is all I'm saying lol. Just do your roulettes and you can get soldiery gear, which is what we all did for Turns 6-9 anyways. Do Syrcus Tower along the way and lot on Oils/Sands of time..and it's really easy. I'm talking like 2 weeks, maybe 4 depending on how much or little you play.

Yeh. I will do some of it. I am going to finish my PLD Relic weapon Quest. (Up to Garuda HM, so like just Titan HM after that and done).

I got burnt out on tanking though. The fucking whining of every other class drives me nuts.

"Oh yah DPS? You pulled aggro? Did ya? I didn't catch it before you did? Oh, shit. I got an idea. It's crazy. Brace yourself. Next time it turns yellow...SWITCH FUCKING TARGETS YOU CUNT!"

Lol, yeah. I think it gets better the more you do experts, which are Snowcloak, Temple of Qarn (Hard Mode), and Sastasha HM.

Tanking does get boring which is why my Monk is almost equal ilvl as my Warrior.

I ran Titan HM every day back before patch 2.0 when they fixed it trying to get my relic done. It was so painful.. I lost count after 75 and stopped counting. It was terrible.

Sargatanas is a good server >_>. My group could probably 4 man that fight without breaking a sweat lol. Hinthintnudgenudge

If a DPS isn't smart enough to switch targets I let them have the mob. Obviously, they think they can burn the mob so let them try.

Especially the lower level dungeons where they are synced. Tanks have basically no enmity tools at that point. It's just dumb when there are 3 mobs at the most to pull hate as a DPS.

Use the cross skill blood bath. Also, you should mark targets in order. I only ever do up to 3.

But PLD has shitty aoe hate ability, even with the buff to flash and circle of scorn. As long as you pull with shield lob and not provoke, you're fine. This isn't like 11,where voke gave you lots of hate.

But yeah, for regular old dungeons it doesn't really matter. I've tanked on my monk because the PLD had less he than me and I was raping... Lol

Haha, so I managed to beat turn 9. Then proceeded to farm it four times afterwards and got me a set of High Allagan Baghnakhs.

I'll get another clear maybe tomorrow and link the achievement for clearing five times lol.

My group is funny. We struggle with something for a while, replace problem children, then beat something and can do it all day every day after that lol.

What I really need is the axe.. =/
